"Go into the experience with an open mind and focus on growing your pipeline"

"I started this role with some much hope because of the things the company was doing. I wanted to be a part of that. My excitement soon gave away to regret for leaving my previous company. The job description that I was interviewed for and the role expectations were different. The job description lined up more with my background. What they wanted didn’t. Management for my team was new (to the company and/or management). There were no standards in the place for the work we were to do. Management feedback sometimes was contradictory between my manager and the director (and sometimes my manager’s feedback contradicted itself based on the day). The commentary and “helpful” information provided to me from management was at times unprofessional, condescending, and passive aggressive. The environment being created was stifling. I knew within a short time that this was not a long-term place for me. If I had this experience as someone just starting my career, this could’ve damaged my perception of working in a corporate environment. Although my interaction with my peers was good, it was hard to truly develop a relationship with peers while having a such a negative top down experience. "

"Unless you have are unable to find employment I would pass. There is still an "old boy" network at play among st the Supervisor- VP level. SVP and Above are good but they are so far removed. "
